Up Begbie shoulder, we found 15cm-30cm of denser snow atop a layer of preserved graupel overlying 10cm of moist snow that produced isolated, stubborn results while stomping on pillow features. Below that interface lies some F density snow and approximately 5cm of facets atop the Feb 2 crust found down 70-100cm. No evident slab properties or signs of instability but trenchy skiing.
